Your questions can either be clarifying or probing. i. Clarifying questions are about issues you are confused about in the text. ii. Probing questions are deeper questions, often “why” questions that are open-ended and push the reader deeper into the text. They are great discussion questions. b. Your “So Basically” should be a statement about character or plot development.
